RE: Vicente Gomez movie piece????? (in reply to britguy)

Thank you all for our responses. I have a VHS of the movie, and have tried learning snatches of the piece that can be heard between the dialogue. Vicente is shown playing, but from the back, so you can not see his fingers. I have a suspicion he may have comosed this piece specifically for the movie scene, but there are parts of it that sound vaguely familiar with some flamenco ideas. The male dancer in the scene is Richard Allen, who I have never heard of. If you can contact Ron Purcell somehow and ask him if there was in fact a title or any form of music for this piece, I would be most gratefull. I'm 76 years old, and I first heard this in the movie in the late '50's and have been trying to identify it ever since, with many dead ends but no success. God luck guys, and Happy New Year to you all . . .

RE: Vicente Gomez movie piece - update (in reply to britguy)

Thanks to your help, I received an email direct from Ron Purcell, via Tom Heck, the AGS librarian. He advises me that Vicente wrote two pieces for this movie; "Granada Arabe" and "Gitana". I checked with the Northridge library and they have them in their archives, but scored for two and three guitars. Not sure if I can use these? Do any of you guys know where I can find music, Tabs, CD whatever, for solo guitar for these two pieces? I found a short preview snatch of "Ganada Arabe" on a Segovia CD of Gomez' music, but played almost twice the speed Vicente played in the movie? And some of the notes do not sound exactly the same? But, I'm getting there. One of these days I'll have this piece, sounding something like the movie ( live in hopes. . . )
